Pros

- Work life balance: No pressure to do anything (depends which way you look at it) - Decent comp (for a corporate) - Great brand name

Cons

- Lack of career progression (unless you have the right mentor or the right ethnicity) - Mobility: Significant cost pressures have made relocations outside one's own base country almost impossible, so although an international company, very localised opportunities - Uncertain outlook post BG acquisition (which has been a disaster in terms of financial stability: for e.g. lack of cash flows affecting everything; massive spike in redundancies across the board which is affecting morale, job security etc) - Below average colleagues: Lack of motivation, drive, intellect - Politics is massive
